CHE | From Prison to Patriarch

Ryan Michler
About this episode

My guest today is a man who spent 15 years behind bars trying to figure out how to get out of the destructive patterns and habits he had acquired growing up with violence, gangs, and drugs. And, although not all of us have been convicted and segregated from society, I think each and every one of us can relate with what it takes to overcome adversity and setback. He goes by the name of Che and, today, we talk about emotional control, learning to forgive yourself for past wrongdoings, in what ways prison (and the military) can simplify life and make things easier, harnessing your desires to healthy outlets, the perversion of modern masculinity, and overcoming the path of no purpose.
